What’s happening @ Hoerr Nursery

Patience is a virtue when it comes to some plants! It can take these hellebore 2 or 3 years to reach flowering size, so we pot up more mature plants than we typically would, and give them all winter to grow. When spring arrives they'll be ready to bloom straight away, before the rest of the garden even wakes up. #peoriaillinois #peoriail #enjoypeoria #hellopeoria #shoplocal365 #discoverpeoria #bestofpeoria #shoplocalpeoriail #heartofillinois

Ernesto and Gabe have just finished a new crevice garden on the parking lot island in front of the store. Stop by and take a look, especially if you have a tough, dry spot in need of a solution. Crevice gardens use upright stone slabs and narrow, gravelly pockets of soil to suit plants that want drier conditions and fast-draining soil. We've got everything you need at Stone Market to complete the project. See hoerrnursery.com/garden-blog for details. #peoriaillinois #peoriail #enjoypeoria #hellopeoria #discoverpeoria

Wet weather has been keeping the vines green longer than usual, but we've got all sorts of pumpkins and gourds rolling in from the fields! If you'd like something locally grown and a little out of the ordinary, stop by and pick out your favorites. #peoriaillinois #peoriail #enjoypeoria #hellopeoria #shoplocal365 #discoverpeoria #bestofpeoria #shoplocalpeoriail #heartofillinois

Join us tomorrow in the Hoerr Nursery Midroom, October 3rd at 1pm, for a talk with local author Trudy Weaver about gardening with limitations. Every gardener hits their limitations at some point, be they time limits, physical limits, or financial limits. Local author Trudy Weaver at 1pm on October 3rd, local author Trudy Weaver will be at Hoerr Nursery to talk about gardening despite those challenges, creating a garden to suit your needs rather than the other way around. Bring your questions for the Q&A that follows, and stay for the signing of her inspirational book, The Gardener. #peoriaillinois #peoriail #enjoypeoria #hellopeoria #shoplocal365 #discoverpeoria #bestofpeoria #shoplocalpeoriail #heartofillinois

Make a Moss Pole Workshop 10am on October 10th

$35.00

Help your climbing houseplants reach new heights!

Join Ayden, our houseplant enthusiast, for a hands-on Make a Moss Pole Workshop and learn how to create the ideal support for some of your favorite houseplants.

We’ll talk about houseplants with aerial roots, the kind that naturally grow up tree trunks for support. Many popular moss poles are made with coco coir, and while plant roots may attach to the surface, coco coir can dry out quickly, and doesn’t provide the moisture and nutrients these houseplants would find in nature.

In this workshop, you’ll learn a moss-pole method designed to better mimic those natural growing conditions. Your plant’s aerial roots can access moisture and nutrients from the pole, which means you'll get larger leaves, faster, healthier growth, better root development, and less frequent repotting.

Whether you’re growing a monstera, a philodendron, a pothos, or another indoor climber, you’ll leave with new skills and a custom support for your new plant.

All materials are included in the cost of the workshop, plus the plant itself. Space is limited, so reserve your spot and get growing!

This Japanese planting style involves growing a houseplant in a ball of soil and moss—no pot required. Display your finished kokedama on a dish, set it in a decorative bowl, or hang it up like a living ornament. They're easy to care for, as long as you know how.

Join Ayden this Saturday as he shares the secrets to kokedama. Learn how to build and care for this moss-wrapped planting, then take home everything you need to get started.
